Joining Forces in the Coordination of Care of Patients with Psoriatic Arthritis

Delays in diagnosing psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are common, with the median lag time from disease onset to a confirmatory diagnosis being 2.5 years. It is imperative that clinicians recognize the impact of delays in diagnosis on joint damage and patient quality of life, and that a multidisciplinary approach can help with earlier diagnosis and better management of PsA and its comorbidities.

The final installment of this CME Outfitters Snack series on managing PsA features discussion on the incorporation of patient-reported outcomes into shared decision-making, employing a multidisciplinary approach to coordination of care, and how best to monitor patients with PsO for PsA at each visit.
